Solution: 1) Tagging – keyword or term that describes a piece of information; examples (NOT
IN BOOK) – using Google maps to help people find a business (e.g., having a picture of the
storefront on Google) or finding local interests (e.g., a hotel may highlight local attractions to
draw customers)
2) Really Simple Syndication (RSS) – allows you to receive the information you want, when you
want it, without having to surf thousands of web sites; example – CNN.com allowing viewers to
download the most current version of shows
3) Blogs – personal web site, open to the public, in which the site creator expresses his or her
feelings or opinions via a series of chronological entries; example – listening to consumers or
(NOT IN BOOK) encouraging consumers to “self-help” (e.g., customer experts help customer
novices)
4) Microblogs – a form of blogging that allows users to write short messages and publish them;
example – quickly share information with interested people, gather real-time market intelligence
and customer feedback
5) Wikis – a website made up entirely of content posted by users; example – central repository
for documents, tracking issues, resolving problems, maintaining project histories, collaborate
with business partners
6) Social networking websites – allows convenient connections to those of similar interest;
examples – companies managing their reputations on social networking sites, watching Banjo to
watch for local trends (oil companies – stock traders)
7) Enterprise social networks – allowing employees, partners, and customers to talk on secured
internal networks or via LinkedIn; examples – virtual teams, build a sense of community, work
remotely
8) Mashups – a website that takes different content from a number of other websites and mixes
them together to create a new kind of content; example – Google Maps, Craigslist apartments

Learning Objective 1: Describe the benefits and risks of social commerce to companies.
Bloomcode: Analysis

Standard 3 : AACSB || Technology
Solution:
Drawbacks:
Social information is no longer anonymous
Problems for governments and companies (e.g., social power to employees and customers and
potential for additional competition from former employees) – they must be authentic, fair,
transparent, humble, etc. (these are all benefits to customers/employees)
Misuse and incorrect use can backfire (e.g., Kenneth Cole, American Apparel, CVS)
Impact:
Positive = use of sites like LinkedIn to build networks, get positive reviews from professors,
and highlight key experiences (e.g., internships)
Negative = posting inappropriate pictures on Facebook or other social media sites highlights
unprofessional behavior that a company would not want associated with them (e.g., illegal
activity like underage drinking)
Business risks:
Negative posts (can’t ignore, can’t turn off but could be fake)
20–80 rule (only a minority are speaking)
Information security
Invasion of privacy
Violation of IP
Employees’ reluctance to participate
Data leakage
Poor or biased quality on content
Cyberbullying

Solution: an economic model based on sharing, swapping, trading, or renting products and
services, enabling access over ownership; collaborative production = give back power so others
can use it, crowdfunding = funding a project by raising money from lots of people, peer-to-peer
lending = lending money to unrelated individuals without using a traditional financial institution;
popular = we are used to trading, enticing career (self-management, variety, flexibility, provides
lots of options for part-timers, retired people, etc.), allows use of underused assets or make
money while driving where already going, good for the environment; problems = not allowed in
many cities, workers don’t get benefits (lower pay, healthcare issues, may not have enough
work)
113) Organizations argue that social marketing is acceptable since customers are providing their
feedback or opinions willingly online. Do you think it is ethical for companies like Facebook,
Google, and Banjo to sell information they collect (why or why not)?

Solution: we benefit from highly targeted advertising (we have free access to sites and usually
get information that meets our needs) but we lose privacy (these companies know an excessive
amount about us – will that be used simply for our good or be used against us; filter bubbles are a
problem)
